Maps

Thomas Guide 2002 Los Angeles and Orange : Street Guide and Directory - The Thomas Guide is the definitive map for anyone who needs to find addresses quickly and easily in the Los Angeles area. It lists every street imaginable, even tiny ones that don't even have street signs. Streets are indexed by street name, making them easy to find in the grid-like maps on each page. There is even a handy zip code listing. Great for sales people and the like who need to find their way through unfamiliar territory quickly and easily.

AAA Hidden Highways Northern California - AAA Hidden Highways of California introduces the traveler to back-road adventures that follow carefully planned routes. The narrative moves swiftly from point to point, bringing the area to life at the same time that it recommends places to visit, maps out itineraries, and features sidetrip excursions. Nine journeys are detailed, from Route 1 along the coast to Highway 395 high in the Sierras. The history and character of Northern California are revealed on themed drives through the Gold Rush region and the Wine Country. A special urban drive through the neighborhoods of San Francisco is also featured. Local and specific AAA maps - trusted for accuracy and usefulness - are included.

Yosemite Climbs : Free Climbs - The most important function of any climbing guide book (in my opinion) is getting you to your selected route. Great topos are vital, but if you can never find the route...what does it matter. Don Reid is a master at both getting you there and great topo beta. Even if it is your first time in the Valley, the book gives such great directions you would be hard pressed to get lost. And, as always, Don is a master topo "artist". Don't accept any cheap substitutes, this is the book to have.

One of the things I really enjoy is watching a movie that takes place somewhere I have traveled. It is really neat to watch a movie and be able to say, "I ate in that restaurant," or "I walked down that street." Netflix has more movies than anyone, including over 6,000 documentaries. And, with their very competitive pricing, watching a movie in the comfort of your own home is really inexpensive -- especially when you don't have to pay so much for the popcorn!

Yosemite National Park in Northern California is one of my personal favorites. Yosemite National Park embraces a spectacular tract of mountain-and-valley scenery in the Sierra Nevada that is filled with waterfalls, meadows, and forests that include groves of giant sequoias, the world's largest living things. Highlights of the park include Yosemite Valley, and its high cliffs and waterfalls; Wawona's history center and historic hotel; the Mariposa Grove, which contains hundreds of ancient giant sequoias; Glacier Point's (summer-fall) spectacular view of Yosemite Valley and the high country; Tuolumne Meadows (summer-fall), a large subalpine meadow surrounded by mountain peaks; and Hetch Hetchy, a reservoir in a valley considered a twin of Yosemite Valley.

Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. Ranging from 1500' to 14,494' in elevation, these adjoining parks protect immense mountains, deep canyons, huge trees, and stunningly diverse habitats. The Generals Highway climbs over 5000 feet from chaparral and oak-studded foothills to the awe-inspiring sequoia groves. From there, trails lead to the high-alpine wilderness which makes up most of these parks. Beneath the surface lie many beautiful caverns. Although they were created by separate acts of Congress, Sequoia and Kings Canyon share miles of boundary and are managed as one park. Sequoia was the second national park designated in this country.
